There is no exact time. It is now after 9am ET. Urban Outfitters is a hipster store, they like to sleep in. Given the hype and attention, Urban Outfitters is well advised to keep shoppers waiting until late afternoon or evening to keep the traffic flowing to their online store.

The Urban Outfitters store is starting to have issues. It was still fine at 8am ET, but now the site starts to become unresponsive at times as thousands of online shoppers constantly refreshing pages. Once shoppers try to put the NES in the shopping basket the site will likely completely fail. It will be a mess to checkout a NES Classic. Based on the traffic this story gets, half of America will try their luck on the Urban Outfitters NES Flash sale.

It makes sense for shoppers to create an account at the urban outfitters site to avoid losing the NES in the basket during checkout.
